Committed to a healthier lifestyle, founder Bernardo Chua started Organo Gold as a home business in 2008.

Chua began utilizing a tropical Asian medicinal trend of using Ganoderma, a wild-grown mushroom that contains bioactive compounds. These compounds have antioxidant, and antifungal therapeutic benefits. Chua infused the powerful Ganoderma ingredient into coffee and teas to give the drinks a healthier edge, an today’s version of Organo Gold packs a powerful punch.

The drought that is currently on the West Coast has affected millions of individuals through the amount of consumed water as well as habits that have been drastically affected. With this drought, domestic households as well as businesses have been affected and have had to cut back significantly for fear of running out of this scarce resource.

Of the many businesses and individuals that have had to cut back due to this plaguing drought, one industry in particular has been affected in a devastating manner. this industry is the ski industry and has relied on the amount of annual rainfall.

To find out how the lack of rainfall has truly affected businesses that specialize in the ski industry, the KCRW radio station interviewed one prominent individual who was able to represent not only his ski resort, but also the industry of skiing. The individual was able to offer expert opinion as well as his current plans for the future to come with regards to the drought.

The individual that KCRW chose to interview was Andy Wirth who is the proud CEO as well as the proud President of the Squaw Valley Ski Resort. This ski resort is located in the Tahoe Valley and has been affected especially by the lack of snowfall.

Andy Wirth was able to sit down with KCRW to talk about his own opinion of the survival of his ski resort. As a businessman as well as a lover of the outdoors, Andy Wirth surprised both the public as well as the hosts of the radio show when he stated that he expects that his company will not falter and will even be expected to grow and collect even more revenue.

Andy Wirth elaborates on this expected outcome when he states that as a businessman, it is important to be prepared for anything to come. With that said, this drought that has been affecting so many households and businesses will not ruin his booming ski resort due to the fact that he has many plans for his ski resort in the future.

When being interviewed, Andy Wirth states that he and his team would begin by investing in the snow making business. This would mean that business would no longer be reliant on the amount of annual rainfall or snowfall. If this were to become the only ski resort that would offer ski slopes that are covered in snow, Mr. Wirth even states that his company will bring in more customers than ever and bring in more revenue.

In addition to this prediction, Andy With also answered a question during the interview that states that his business would be able to withstand an infinite amount of winters despite the snowfall.

There is no lack of hair-care products and commercials for them on the market today. One of the stand-outs recently has been Wen hair by Chaz Dean. Like every other commercial, these feature gorgeous women with flowing shiny hair smiling and laughing as their locks wave in the breeze. After hearing some good things (outside the television) one Bustle writer decided to try for herself to see how it went, and if the claims that it works for any hair type was true.
The product is advertised by Sephora as a miracle: an all-in-one shampoo, conditioning treatment and style primer. Thick, thin, wavey, straight, Wen by Chaz Dean is supposed to work for all types of hair, depending on the formula you choose. See, http://www.wen.com/chaz-dean.html.

WEN hair by Chaz is a cleaing conditioner that is meant to give thin hair body, shine, and clean through a single product. All told, it is a five-in-one product boasting shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, detangler and leave-in conditioner all in one. All of this is accomplished without harsh chemicals or sulfates and results in gorgeous, manageable manes.

Eventually, the Bustle reviewer came to the conclusion that WEN cleansing conditioner for fine hair is perfect for those beauty buffs with finely textured hair looking for a conditioning treatment to keep frizz and fuzz away.

The tech industry is well known as one of the fastest moving elements of the business sector. Outsiders tend to assume that the biggest news from a company will be the announcement of a new generation of high tech products. But in reality this is only a side effect of the most dynamic element of the tech sector. New products and discoveries are always interesting. But it’s the appointment of new leaders within successful companies which really shows that some amazing things are on the horizon. This can be clearly seen with Coriant’s recent appointment of Shaygan Kheradpir as their new CEO.

One can better understand the importance of this decision by examining how administration and company mission intersect. Coriant is a company which is primarily focused on networking solutions.
